The benefits of cannabis in medicine

Cannabis is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world, the properties of which were known long before the birth of Christ. Nowadays this cultural asset is mainly used in medicine. Cannabis can alleviate a number of symptoms of a wide variety of diseases, all without chemical pharmaceuticals. But why is cannabis therapy preferable to conventional therapy?

The positive effects of cannabis

Cannabis has a positive effect on many diseases, be it pain , asthma, ADHD or multiple sclerosis , type 1 and type 2 diabetes - the list of diseases cannabis helps with is long.

The residents of so-called "ban towns" might not have the same access to premium cannabis products. They may also depend on delivery services for their cannabis products. Even cannabis consumers who have dispensaries close by are choosing to use the services of weed delivery over going out to the store.

All of these diseases are considered serious because most of them cannot be cured. For this reason, many seriously ill people have to take their medicine for many years. In the long run, this can lead to a wide variety of problems, from addiction caused by opiates to damage to organs such as the kidneys or liver.

That leads us to the first advantage of cannabis over other drugs. Cannabis does not damage the internal organs even after decades of use. Long-term studies prove that cannabis does not have a negative impact on organs such as the liver, heart and kidneys. Other drugs such as opiates are extremely harmful to digestion and can lead to severe physical addiction.

Which leads us to another problem with conventional drugs, the so-called interactions and side effects. An interaction in medicine is when one drug influences the effect of another drug. Side effects are problems that can arise from taking medication. With opiates, these are often characterized by nausea or digestive problems. Common side effects can include insomnia, depression, or loss of appetite, to name a few. The problem of interaction and side effects occurs predominantly when taking many different drugs - cannabis can also help here.

There are few drugs that can relieve as many symptoms as cannabis. Cannabis can solve a multitude of problems and thus save one or the other pill. I myself have received reports from people that they save 3-4 drugs by taking cannabis, which can be up to 4-8 tablets a day. By generally reducing medication, interactions and side effects can also be reduced.

Another and one of the most important advantages is that cannabis is well tolerated with most other drugs and there are hardly any interactions, so opiates can also be combined very well with cannabis. On the one hand, this could help the cannabis against the side effects of opiates. The pain relieving effect of cannabis can also reduce the dose of opiates.

The abstract

Essentially, cannabis has three advantages: First, it can be used for years without damaging the organs. In addition, it helps with a number of health problems. This makes it possible to replace three to four or more drugs with cannabis, depending on the disease. In addition, cannabis can be taken with most other drugs without fear of negative interactions. Because of this, cannabis can be extremely beneficial, especially for people with multiple ailments. Nevertheless, cannabis is classified as a narcotic and therapy with cannabis should definitely be discussed with the doctor you trust.
